lyrics

A Night With No Moon - Grieve/Myles

All that work I’ve done to get here
Is now bringing me undone
Surrounded by what I thought I wanted near
My instincts tell me to run

There’s an old friend over there
A simple hard working man
And if I tell him about my plan
Will he understand

As I reflect I start to find
Decisions I felt I never made
I just didn’t want to live out my life
Overworked and underpaid

There’s my old lover over there
I still get that feeling when I look her in the eye
If I do now what I wouldn’t do then
Will she understand

Hey take what you want
Take everything you need
I’ve been waiting on you babe
Don’t hang your bad luck on me

The cheap red wine has got to me
My mind moving so slow I can’t speak
As I wander around on this night with no moon
My life has turned and it’s starting to speak

There’s my family over there
They see right through my disguise
And if I walk away
Will they understand

All that work I’ve done to get here
Is now slowly bringing me undone
Surrounded by what I thought I wanted near
My instincts tell me to run

There’s a whole world out there
One fine design one crazy plan
And if I turn around
Will they understand
Will they understand
The journey of this man
I’m sure you understand
I don’t think I was cut out to be no family man
I’m sure you understand

about

Steve Grieve and The Mourners image

Steve Grieve and The Mourners Australia

Steve Grieve and The Mourners inhabit an enigmatic virtual Neverland of hazy musical dreams, outback chicanery, and lumpy, urbane hybrid rock, roots and blues edifices. The band has acquired an improbable yet mythical cult status and their most recent confrontations with crass commercialism, lazy stereotypes and alliteration are ceremoniously captured on the new album Caterpillar Maze. ... more
